Cultivating Curious Contexts (C3) Lab

Apply to be an undergraduate research assistant

Are you an undergraduate interest in joining the lab? For information on how to apply and availability, check out the details below.

We are almost always looking for enthusiastic and responsible undergraduate research assistants (UGRAs) to join the C3 lab! Working with us is a great opportunity to game hands-on research experience, develop of flexible professional skill set, and meaningfully contribute to our understanding of important interpersonal and developmental processes.

UGRAs can expect to get experience with data collection methods, dataset building, assisting with literature reviews, tracking survey completion, or other participant-related tasks. More advance students, with more time to commit to lab tasks, will have opportunities to engage in data analysis, manuscript writing, and developing independent projects.

If you’re interested in applying to work in our lab, please prepare the following material to submit to us via email.

Required Commitment:
A minimum of 5 hours per week over the course of two semesters is required to participate in the lab. Additionally, all UGRAs are required to attend weekly lab meetings as they are critical to maintaining a collaborative working environment among all lab members and keeping projects on track.

Application Materials:
To apply, please submit the following materials:

  1. Resume/CV: Highlight your academic achievements, relevant coursework, and any prior research or volunteer experience.
  2. Cover Letter: In one to two pages, explain your interest in our research, why you want to join our lab, and any specific areas of research you like a chance to explore in greater detail. Also include an overview of any prior research or research-related skills you have that would add to the productivity of our lab.
  3. Unofficial Transcript: Provide a copy of your most recent academic transcript to help us understand your coursework and performance.

Please send your materials to [email protected]. We look forward to reviewing your applications and potentially welcoming you to our research team!
